1. What is the Fat Weight Loss Female Calculation?

The Fat Weight Loss Female calculation determines the recommended daily fat intake (in grams) for women aiming for weight loss, based on their total daily calorie intake.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equation:
